'03-Jun-2012' is not 'dd-mmm-yyyy' but 'dd-mon-yyyy' ('mmm' doesn't even exist).

I just can make out a

to_date('03-Jun-2012','')

behind the error message.

Obviously the format (second parameter) is not present in the generated SQL statements. Where to enter that format in that GUI I have no clue, but the correct SQL should look like:

to_date('03-Jun-2012','dd-mon-yyyy')

I might be oldfashioned, but I'd rather save that Excel file into a CSV file, write a proper control file and load data using SQL*Loader. Doing so, I would be the operator with my pocket calculator, not vice versa.

OK; when you ran SQLLDR, you should have created a log file. Open it and check what's in there. You'll see a reason (or reasons) why all these records weren't loaded.
